@phototracks@arctotherium42@Peter_Nimitz Nimitz’s thread on this book is one of my favorites of his many book threads. I was surprised to see this one, it seems like book threads have largely disappeared from my timeline.
@MysteryGrove Listened to the whole episode. I don’t have time to watch movies so I generally don’t listen to all your episodes about movies, but I’ve been showing Miyazaki films to my kids for years. I agree with your analysis, they’re overall lovely films with excellent artistry.
@amadeopanoptes Meanwhile Eaglepoint mgmt instituted repurchase programs for their public funds at much more modest discounts. For Forman, buybacks are anathema.
@japan_nobunaga As a tourist in Yokohama I bought one for my son in kindergarten. Upon flying home an older Dutch woman said it reminded her of backpacks from her youth.
It’s the most expensive piece of luggage that I own.
Overall my son really enjoys it.

@silumanmawas There’s a water park on the north side of Penang called ESCAPE. They have one of the longest water slides in the world, you take a ski lift to get to the top. Great for families. I always recommend it to ppl.
Entopia is across the road.
@spandrell4 The Valero refinery in NorCal shut down this month. They announced it a year ago, and response from the CA govt was basically “we will just import what the refinery produces”.
Tbf Japan has some fuel subsidies at the midstream level.
